    Summary

    To date, Penelope has never missed a New Year’s Eve with the Bridgertons. Not since that very first one after she and Eloise found each other and became forever joined under the mutual promise of best friends forever.

    This is the first year Penelope has ever seriously thought about not attending.

    Because three weeks ago, at Anthony and Kate’s annual holiday party, she drunkenly kissed Colin under the mistletoe.

    And he drunkenly kissed her back.

    The one where these two idiots get stranded in a blizzard on their way to Aubrey Hall. Find a hotel, but said hotel only has one room left. And (GASP!) that room only has one bed. So, naturally, these two are forced to reconcile certain truths with each other.

    Colin to Pen
    9 Dec
    [07:03]

    Colin: I need a favour
    Colin: also hi
    Colin: good morning

    The phone vibrates against the bathroom counter, and Penelope hates the way her heart does this little flip in her chest at the sight of his name flickering at the top of her notifications. She stills, eyeliner poised in her hand, and contemplates answering. He never texts this early, so it is likely whatever he needs is important.

    But she is running late.

    And, more importantly, she is trying to be better about these sorts of things.

    Summary

    The video finds her at two AM when the algorithm has decided she's vulnerable enough for spiritual content.

    Write thirteen wishes, the woman on the screen instructs. One for each month of the coming year, plus one extra. And then, starting on the winter solstice, pull one each night and burn it. Release it to the universe. Trust that it will unfold without you clinging to it.

    On New Year's Day, you'll have one wish left. That one is the one thing you are not delegating to the cosmos. The one thing you are committing to actually work toward.

    It sounds like nonsense, but when Penelope is twenty-one and overwhelmed by life, the idea of outsourcing some decisions to the universe feels less like magical thinking and more like a legitimate coping mechanism.

    At twenty-nine, she writes a wish that makes her hands shake so badly she can barely fold the paper:

    I tell Colin how I feel.

    Summary

    The plan is this: come home, get a real job, stop running away from the only woman he has ever truly wanted, and make Penelope Featherington see him as something other than her goofy, perpetually wandering best friend.

    The plan is simple and elegant, and all sorted—except for that final little bullet point. No big deal.

    What could possibly go wrong?
